ABSTRACT
‘The River’ is a process drama focusing on a river and its surroundings over time. A process drama has a fictional framework and is built up by a variety of drama conventions such as narration, still images, improvisation, and role-taking. Drama conventions enable experiencing from multiple perspectives, slowing down pace, and deepening reflection to offer different ways of acting. Imagination is central and used as a main tool to work with sustainability issues and practice moving between history, present, and the future. Through both historying and futuring, we can create new stories together including hope and different futures. The River is created to give participants the opportunity to explore nonhuman–human relations. Participants will experience the possibility of identifying themselves as part of nature and the emerging practice of nature as a legal person/entity.
